Chapter 198: Media Commentary
But no matter what, Wang Zhengfei is indeed already the director of "Qin Shi Mingyue", and this is still a large investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, many people have begun to think about it, in most of the ideas, being able to play a supporting role in a movie with a big investment is much more interesting than being the protagonist in a small movie.
To use a realistic metaphor, a movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan is a rich second generation born with a golden key, and the grassroots may naturally succeed, but compared with the rich second generation, it is not inherently dominant.
Of course, what is even more inexplicable than Wang Zhengfei taking charge of Shuaiyin is what kind of novel "Qin Shi Mingyue" is.
Relatively speaking, "Qin Shi Mingyue" is only slightly famous in Taiwan, because Mr. Wen Shiren himself is not a novelist, but a businessman, "Qin Shi Mingyue" is certainly his last wish, but he is not a regular novelist, and he does not have this popularity.
The reason why "Qin Shi Mingyue" became famous in later generations was not because of the novel, but because of the all-3D anime.
Therefore, "Qin Shi Mingyue" suddenly became the object of adaptation, and many media were not very optimistic, and there was no fame of the original work to drive the popularity of the movie.
At the same time, this is also the first adapted script since Wang Zhengfei's debut, and Wang Zhengfei has been an original script before.
The reaction of major media outlets to this news has been mixed.
"This is a brand new attempt, and our wonder boy Wang Zhengfei will try a completely new field, a field that has never been tried before!" -- Watching a movie.
"Shocking, Wang Zhengfei has become the director of China's fourth 100 million yuan film after Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige and other big names, and he is only a few years old, less than 20 years old, this is definitely a miracle number that has refreshed Chinese films and even world films, let's take a look at the age of several other directors, Feng Xiaogang and Director Feng, 47 years old this year, Wang Zhengfei is two rounds older. Director Zhang Yimou is fifty-four years old, older than Feng Xiaogang, and director Chen Kaige, Wang Zhengfei's hometown, is also 53 years old this year.
Once upon a time, the Chinese entertainment industry has been complaining that there is no successor to the Chinese director's career, but now that cutting-edge directors have been born one after another, Wang Zhengfei filmed the shocking "Immortality" at a cost of hundreds of thousands, and when he was filmed, he was even only eighteen years old, and then Ning Hao was under pressure as soon as "Crazy Stone" came out, and immediately swept 85 million box office, and behind these two movies are Wang Zhengfei's works, which can be said to be talented. This year, there is another movie related to Wang Zhengfei to be released, Chen Long claims to have invested more than 100 million yuan in the blockbuster "Myth" is about to be released, this movie is full of stars from many Asian countries, it is worth looking forward to, and Wang Zhengfei is both the original author and the screenwriter, which shows his talent! -- Southern Metropolis Daily.
And the popular fashion weekly, which has a good relationship with Wang Zhengfei, simply came up with a big headline "Six and a half generations of directors - Wang Zhengfei!" 》
As we all know, Feng Xiaogang and other directors are known as China's fifth-generation directors, and they are also the pillars of the Chinese film industry, and they are also the most well-known directors in China. Represented by Lu Chuan and others, the sixth generation of directors began to show their talents, and compared with the sixth generation of directors who are now known and recognized, Wang Zhengfei is younger, Wang Zhengfei who was born in 85 is a typical post-80s generation is half a round younger than Ning Hao, and it is a little reluctant to say that it is the same generation, so Wang Zhengfei can only be regarded as six and a half generations, which is a grade that connects the previous and the next, compared to them, Wang Zhengfei is younger and more energetic, even if he fails, he can withstand failure, and success will be more successful! ”
"An investment of 100 million yuan is a huge adventure or a huge investment! There are too few 100 million yuan movies in China, that is, there are too few blockbusters in China, eighty percent of the world's box office is concentrated in the United States, and eighty percent of the American box office is concentrated in American blockbusters. When foreign blockbusters are rampant in China, where are the Chinese blockbusters? If there are a few more blockbusters like this every year, there is hope for the revival of Chinese films! This is the argument of Nandu Weekly, a typical proponent of the blockbuster theory.
Since a few years ago, Zhang Yimou used "Heroes to Open the Way" to open the era of Chinese blockbusters, and countless people have followed up one after another, but only a few can use blockbusters to create a way out, this road paved with countless bad movies and box office poison. How far can it go, will "Qin Shi Mingyue" become the one who laughs to the end? We'll see! "--World Movie" Wang Zhengfei is just a hairy boy, thinking that with a movie that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep and gets some small achievements by despicable means, he is completely self-righteous, an investment of 100 million yuan, handed over to the hands of such a hairy boy, just waiting to smash it, he has contributed a bad movie to China, a super bad movie with the name of a blockbuster, those who are looking forward to what surprise Wang Zhengfei will bring them, in the end, the most disappointed return! "There are people who support it, and there are naturally people who oppose it, and I don't know which tabloid suddenly popped up a so-called famous film critic who criticized Wang Zhengfei as soon as he came up.
He is not the only one, with a hairy head, a large number of so-called film critics have emerged, all of whom have expressed their disapproval of Wang Zhengfei's new movie.
"A small film director who has only shot a cost of 100,000 yuan wants to shoot a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is simply the most ridiculous joke in the world! If he can shoot it, then I don't know how many directors in China can shoot it, it's ridiculous! ”
"For some people, self-estimation is just the norm, and when the nouveau riche generally breaks out, he has to get up, and see how he loses!"
"Such a young person has no experience at all, how can such a person shoot an excellent work, what he is doing is only one thing, that is, to corrupt the money of the investor, that is, Xingchen Entertainment, an artist like an upstart, a company like an upstart, the two are really a perfect match, and a 'blockbuster' kills two!"
"It is true that he does have a rare talent in screenwriting, but that is only in screenwriting, there is a saying in the entertainment industry that interlacing is like a mountain, an industry has an industry rule, and if you break into it, you will only hit your head and bleed, I advise Wang Zhengfei to turn back!"
This almost didn't say that Wang Zhengfei ah, the earth is too dangerous, hurry back to Mars!
"A stupid investment decision, a stupid director candidate, two stupid candidates have long been bound to fail!"
There are two ways to become famous in the world, one is to point out your unique opinions, such people are easy to be recognized, and then remembered, and the other is to scold, scold a way out, regardless of whether it is good or bad, just scold one word, for the sake of fame, for money, what face, everything is something that can be discarded.
For example, Bao Xiaobai in later generations, and the contradiction between Supergirl Zeng Yike and Supergirl Zeng Yike made a fuss, and finally threatened that either Zeng Yike would go, or he would go, but in the end, it was for hype, and then he sat back on the judges' seat, all for show, to win attention, no other meaning, and he didn't hate Zeng Yike in private.
For this kind of person, Wang Zhengfei doesn't know what to say at all, because there is really nothing to say, debate with him, people's crooked reasoning is one after another, all kinds of things look very reasonable, in fact, they are all a bunch of, if you scold him, it is better, people want you to scold him, he is unanimously waiting for you to scold him, at that time, the eyeballs are there, the exposure is there, the value has risen, everything is there, and the real loss has to be the artists who quarrel with them.
People don't even want their faces, what do you use to hit people!
For this kind of person, Wang Zhengfei has no way at all, but when he saw the newspaper, Wang Zhengfei still threw it on the table and didn't make any noise, which didn't mean that he wasn't angry, on the contrary, he was very angry, very angry.
These people directly made him happy, to be honest, he never knew that someone could be shameless to this extent, it seems that for these people, shamelessness is already a matter that goes deep into the bone marrow.
And he's also very strange, why didn't there be such a person before, or just a very few, how did it all come out all of a sudden, to say that they were all enemies he had before, he didn't believe it, although he had made a lot of trouble since his debut, and there were many people who offended, but most people still had a very good impression of him, and his popularity in the circle also belonged to a better category, because he rarely put on any shelf, and many newcomers were on fire. It's as if he wants to return all the anger he received during the newcomer period of the party, but that will only make them accelerate their decline, Wang Zhengfei has been in the spotlight since he entered the entertainment industry, but he has not experienced the discomfort of the newcomer period too much, and he has not so much resentment, because he dared to show him a face, he fought back fiercely, so there is only someone else's breath, how can he be angry.
However, according to Gao Yan, this is also a manifestation of popularity!
